We are halfway through the testing period and I haven't heard any feedback on the list about how testing is going with 3.1.2. So the natural assumptions are that either nobody is testing the latest version or that testing is going so well that there is really nothing to report. I am hoping that it is the latter. :) If anybody has anything to report (good or bad), please send a quick email to the list.
